context_page_description: There have been five baronetcies created for persons with the surname Kennedy, one in the Baronetage of Ireland, three in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia and one in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. One creation is extant as of 2010.
  The Kennedy Baronetcy of Newtownmountkennedy was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 25 January 1666 for Robert Kennedy, member of the Irish House of Commons for Kildare Borough. The second baronet was a distinguished judge. On the death of the fourth Baronet in 1710 the next heir was under attainder and the baronetcy consequently forfeited.
  The Kennedy Baronetcy, of Girvan in the County of Ayr, was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia on 4 August 1673 for John Kennedy. The title became extinct on the death of the second Baronet in 1740.
  The Kennedy Baronetcy, of Culzean in the County of Ayr, was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia on 8 December 1682 for Archibald Kennedy. He was the great-grandson of Sir Thomas Kennedy, Master of Cassilis, younger son of Gilbert Kennedy, 3rd Earl of Cassilis. The fourth Baronet succeeded to the earldom of Cassilis in 1759.
